Persian Military Legacy
Loyalty to the Shahanshah, above all else.The predecessors of the Sassanids, the Parthians, had almost no standing army, instead recruiting troops from satraps as and when required for local crises or wars. When Ardashir I seized the throne of Ctesiphon and House Sassan ascended, he aimed at a revival of the bygone Achaemenid Persian Empire. To this end, he restructured the military, creating a standing army under his personal command with a system of officers and regiments that answered to him, as opposed to his client kingdoms, as in the case of Parthia. However, he retained the Parthian cavalry model because the cataphracts brought his predecessors success in the field.
